2. Feeling sluggish in the afternoon? Pick up a cucumber! Cucumbers are a good source of B
Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that
can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a
shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror. It will eliminate
the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting
beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free
of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the
aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden
pests crazy and make them flee the area. (ooooo I like this one)!

5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove
cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of
cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemical
in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up
the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on
wrinkles too!!!

6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache?
Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and
headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and
electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping
everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening
snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by
European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off
starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and
you realize that you don’t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a
freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick
and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge?
Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila,
the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don’t have time for massage,
facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a
boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will
react with the boiling water and released in the steam, creating a
soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new
mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you
don’t have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the
roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad
breath, the photochemical will kill the bacteria in your mouth
responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Clean your faucets,
sinks or stainless steel. Take a slice of cucumber & rub it on the
surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and
bring back the shine, but it won’t leave streaks and won’t harm you
fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Pen marks. Take the outside of
the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing. Also works
great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the
walls!

This could be the most important thing that you see me post! Its an epidemic this year, and these things are as lethal as a venomous snake in the wrong senerio!Please not only read it, but share it! Make sure we get the word out about these tics and the disease they carry!

It's summer! Time for camping, hiking and getting outside to play. Don't let those pesky annoying ticks stop you. Here's how with a simple homemade solution!

Repellent for your pets:

For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).

To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

For you and your family:

In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil.

Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks.

After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body.

This is a game called Kilter that I received in the mail, and I haven't a clue who I got it from. I checked my mail, and google and Tomoson.com (for those who are familiar with), and I cannot figure out where I got it, and it's been about a month or longer since I received it, and I have not done a review or anything on it, and no one has contacted me.

Has anyone else received an item like this? Please leave a comment below. Thanks.
